Neither do I. It is one of the problems I have with it. Beef is something this committee discusses. There is the end where the farmer is selling the product, which is either at a mart or to a factory, by and large. The prices received by farmers are publicly available. When I go into my retailer and purchase the product the prices are publicly available. The difficulty is everywhere else in between and what Retail Ireland's members pay the processors. Does Mr. Dillon consider this to be market-sensitive data that should not be divulged?
